Chapter 236: Throwing the pot and catching the pot

After this game, the night wasn't over for the Rockets as a whole.

Losing at home, and losing in the battle of the Kings, even if those players have only just returned to the dressing room and have not seen the media coverage of the game, they already have a premonition of the criticism that will follow.

The fans' anger, frustration, and disappointment will soon turn into invective against them, and the Rockets may be exempted from blame for Totoro's record-setting night, but his other teammates will be more harshly abused for his record.

Just imagine, Totoro scored 63 points alone, why can't the Rockets win against the Spurs, and the final score of the two teams is only about 100 points, is it that the remaining 14 people together can't score 50 points, isn't this a waste?

Pseudo fans will only care about the number of shots of a player, what is the shooting rate, but they will not care about the more advanced data in basketball such as ball use rate, shooting hot zone, non-over-the-top forced catch, barely shooting these data, they only see Totoro tonight 40 shots 26, more than 60% of the shooting rate is very reasonable, and the other players add up to 32 shots and 11 hits, only 3 percent of the shooting rate is definitely the team's big hind legs.

But in the eyes of senior fans, he has been playing unlimited singles in this game, with an astonishing 56.4% ball use rate, 5 people on the court, and the remaining 4 including Da Yao add up to him and have more time to control the ball, the basketball court depends on the state of the players, the player's state is good and bad, and it is not completely impossible for players to lose themselves on some nights, but if you don't give them some ball rights to play with throughout the game, don't let them break through and don't let them play alone, It's just that I really don't have a chance, so I just throw a few pots and let them shoot, so I'm afraid that no matter what the player is, it is impossible to be in shape.

People are not microwave ovens, they can operate as soon as they are plugged in, unless it is a person like Totoro who has a system to help, and can continue to maintain his shooting rate without relying on his touch, otherwise even if he pulls a superb role player like Redick into this situation, he will definitely go out of sorts.

But it can't be helped, there are always more fake than real fans in the world, there are more fake fans than real fans, or there are some trolls who exist purely for the sake of spraying, when Totoro himself was praised for his merits, they were sprayed with blood, the little giant was criticized for being weak again, Randolph was said to be a tumor, David Lee became overrated, and Gasol Jr. was a perfect second-round rookie level.

They all know who they are attributed to being so miserable, but they are all bitter and can't say, who makes Totoro's brain-dead fans so much? Now on the streets of Houston, at least 7 of the 10 basketball fans selected at random are personal fans of Totoro, followed by fans of the Rockets, this proportion will only be larger in the world, plus Totoro's shooting percentage is there, and there is nothing to be black about experts, so that even if they don't have the ball to show themselves so that they have to take the blame after losing, they can't clear their name.

'It's my fault for this game, basketball is a five-man sport, and obviously the other side is playing more like a team, and we're all about individual heroism, so the defeat in that game last night wasn't an accident but a certainty.'

Only one day later, Totoro took the initiative to be interviewed by a reporter from the Houston Worker, and his mood was very calm, but the words he said stunned the beautiful reporter who interviewed him, and asked Totoro three times if he had heard it wrong.

You must know that yesterday at the post-game press conference, Totoro was unhappy, when asked by reporters how he felt about this game, he bluntly said that his 63 points were wasted, criticized the whole team for feeling cold, and said that if it continues in such a decadence, they will soon be out of this series, although there are not many words, and it is not explicit, but people with a little IQ can hear it, and he completely blamed the pot of the loss of this game on the heads of the players.

But, what kind of crooked wind is blowing now, is it that he was caught by the door when he slept at night? This is very different from yesterday.

In fact, Totoro said this not because of any external factors, it was purely because he calmed down after a good night's sleep, and that's it.

He and Kobe Bryant are very similar to Westbrook in the future, they are all players who like to show themselves on the court, but the way he behaves is very similar to LeBron James, if Kobe wants to use a difficult score to make others pay attention to himself, then Totoro is to use a gorgeous data to let others remember him, and Totoro is also smarter than Westbrook and Kobe, that is, he pays attention to his shooting percentage and reasonable shots, if one day he feels abnormal, he will definitely not be like those two, the hard head will continue to force the shot, and as a result, he will go further and further on the road of 17 out of 47.

Finally, Totoro has a higher emotional intelligence than most black players, which is a race relationship in it, and there is also an educational and cultural factor in it, why is Duncan the best cornerstone of the team? Team leader? Because he is highly educated, he knows that what leaders have to learn is to help in the snow and not fall into the ground, like the one who puts all the blame for losing on the role player after the game is definitely not a qualified leader, of course, he is undoubtedly a fool to take care of everything, to find a balance between the two, this is what a locker room leader should do.

It's easy to get rich together, but it's difficult to share hardships, saying that everyone will, but when things are really done, it is the subconscious instinct of every creature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Totoro is the same, so he will shirk responsibility at the press conference after the game, but he is not stupid, after a night of calm, he immediately knew what the consequences of doing this would be, so he deliberately found a well-known media to excuse his teammates.

Although this is a bit of an afterthought, but this effect is obviously much better than taking responsibility with teammates immediately after the game, the icing on the cake not many people will be grateful, but the snow can make people remember for a lifetime, these Rockets players were abused by countless fans around the world yesterday, became the sinners of the city of Houston, and lived a life that was worse than death, but today Totoro suddenly exonerated them like a savior to attract firepower, these goods are estimated to cry after seeing the report. Anyone who has a little conscience in their hearts will secretly think that they are fortunate to have a good boss..........

Things for the Rockets came to an end, and several other games in the NBA still needed to be played, the Magic and the Cavaliers finally survived the seventh game, but the Lakers and Celtics took the lead and the Celtics took the lead and made a late strike, winning four wins early and entering the Western Conference Finals.

In this year's playoffs, if you want to say who surprised fans the most, one is undoubtedly the Rockets' first-year rookie Totoro, and the other is the Hornets' star Paul.

If Totoro is the league's new All-Star player with an average of 24.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game throughout the playoffs, then Chris Paul is the league's new superstar player with an average of 31.3 points, 12.4 assists and 2.3 steals per game.

Facing the Suns in the first round, the Queen Bee proved herself with strength, not only defeated the Suns' core Nash in the opposite position, but also led the team 4:1 to the next round, and faced last year's Finals guest Lakers in the second round series, although the Hornets led by him failed miserably, but the Queen Bee was never knocked down.

If the Lakers' first game made Paul a little confused with two people's defense and rough movements, and only handed over a dismal answer of 14 points and 7 assists, then the next four games are undoubtedly Paul's stage alone.

31 points and 8 assists, 24 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, 29 points and 13 assists, 35 points, 11 assists and 5 steals, although the Hornets only won 1 of the remaining four games, and the others were lost by a large score, but Paul is no longer something that the Lakers can limit, even if the Lakers sacrifice their star Kobe Bryant in the next three games, let the Volute personally watch him on the defensive end, the queen bee is still so shining all over the court.

"We were beaten by the opponent and we weren't good enough in some areas, but I'm not dissatisfied with the team this season, this is the first Western Conference semifinals I've reached since I came to the Hornets, we're still young, we've got the whole summer to watch the video with the Lakers, and we're definitely going to do better next year."

After being eliminated, Chris Paul showed his super high emotional intelligence and leadership temperament, although he is usually an extremely demanding person for his teammates, but in other aspects, he is undoubtedly very considerate of his younger brothers.

And there is not much criticism from the outside world for this Hornets team, even the local fans in New Orleans have a tolerant attitude towards their team's loss, because as Paul said, this is the first time they have successfully entered the Western Conference semifinals of the playoffs. All that's left is to absorb their own shortcomings in the playoffs, find the flaws in the team, fix them this summer, and next year is when they officially set sail.

On the other side of the East, the spicy Celtics eliminated the Hawks with a clean four-game winning streak after the initial slow-heat problem passed.

The Hawks were even less harshly criticized, because even the blind could see the gap between the Hawks and the Green Shirts, and at the beginning they could win two games in a row against the Celtics, which was something that everyone did not expect at first, but now it seems that a small probability event is a small probability event, and the miracle is still not easy to enter reality, the Celtics defeated their own opponent who is not very strong, and entered the Eastern Conference finals for the second year in a row, waiting for the winner between the Cavaliers and the Magic, For the old Big Three, championship rings are still not too many, Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen are all players who can be ranked in history, but they only have one championship ring last year in their lives, how can this work? Don't talk about Jordan, you see O'Neal also has four rings on his hand, and the three of them together are one less than each other, is it said that the three of them together are not as tall as the dead fat man opposite?

"I'm waiting for our opponent to appear, but personally, I think this year's Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference should still be the Spurs, Daragon and Yao are doing well, but Dargon is still a little too tender, in Tim's eyes he still behaves like a child, although I admit that he is very talented, and may be the next Black Mamba and Stone Buddha in the league in the future, but there is a gap of about 100 playoff games between him and us."

In Los Angeles, far away from Houston, the Lakers' star Kobe Bryant was interviewed by a well-known local basketball talk show, in which he bluntly expressed his views on the Rockets and Spurs.

Kobe Bryant's statement is nothing more than very offensive, but the boss doesn't care so much, he thinks that his qualifications are enough to judge all the people in the league, and not all players he will waste saliva to spray, he commented on Totoro that he looks up to the other party, Totoro should not be jealous but should be grateful to Dade.

"You're fucking farting!"

My Neighbor Totoro is of course roaring in his heart, Kobe's team entered the Western Finals early, he is certainly qualified to judge himself in front of the public, and Komi is known as 5 billion in the world, although he is the new king of popularity, but the fame gap between him and the veteran players is not a star and a half, after all, people have used decades of struggle and championship rings to pile up the foundation, and he is not good to tear apart from this level of players in the open.

But Totoro is not completely unable to fight back, in the sixth game with the Spurs, Totoro used 12 of 15 shots, 32 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists to lead the team to a forced victory over the Spurs on the road, dragging the entire series to the seventh game to slap Kobe Bryant in the face.

In this battle of life and death, Totoro, who calmed down again, completely suppressed his desire to perform, and used himself as a bait again throughout the game, he touched the ball for no more than 3 seconds per round, and the number of dribbles did not exceed 10 times, but the running distance of the whole court reached an astonishing 10 kilometers, he no longer stuck the ball himself, but kept passing, interspersing, running, defending, and constantly interspersed with his vitality to disrupt the Spurs' defense, and the ball was passed out immediately to his own hands, Let others hold the ball to find their feel, and never shoot unless it is a big empty space.

This ball Totoro played like a selfless point guard, this transformation caught Popovich off guard, originally the old man used the 05 finals to deal with Zhan Huang's set of tactics to limit Totoro, but he was defeated by Totoro with Kidd-style basketball, and Zhuge Go really had a hard time to say.
